wild. Some, like myself, are lucky (or unlucky depending on how you
see it) to realise what's going on and yearn for our freedom, a
voice, our right.
Each individual can make a difference, but we cannot hope to be a
one-man/woman army. [b]An ironic tragedy is.. while the opposition
has ideas, too many people either do not want to get involved, or
do exactly what the PAP does - which is to believe the mainstream
media's portrayal of the opposition as a bunch of bumbling fools
without bothering to find out more about ideas behind the
faces.
But is that what YOU think?? Or what the government WANTS
you to think? If u truly feel the PAP's arrogance and
power is a threat to Singapore's future, what are you doing about
it as an individual? Certainly not taking action - at least that's
what the opposition's doing. Why simply diss the opposition? Why
not find out more about them? Talk to them? Get involved, pitch in,
even? A toothpick on its own can be broken easily. but put a bunch
of them together, and they will be 1,000 times harder to break.
WE the people are the reason the opposition cannot
succeed... because although alot of us have a few common goals
(bring PAP's absolute power under control by setting a system of
checks n balances), we don't want to get involved! We're like..
trembling obedient ninnies who have seen how the opposition is
persecuted mercilessly by the PAP, and don't want to be in that
position!
Most Singaporeans complain and complain, but still choose
the blue pill. And that's something the PAP can count on every
single time. But I know what I want, and what I'm going to
do. Do you?[/b]
very well written......bravo!!!!!
